Lucas - Stocking the Most Forklift Parts in the Niagara Region

Picking your Forklift and materials handling parts has never been easier than it is today. With the advent of the internet, countless online shops have sprung up claiming to be the next best thing. The trouble has always been that the vast majority of these parts shops didn’t keep an inventory! They still don’t!


It’s not only the convenience of accessing and ordering your forklift parts online that should lure you to the website, but whether they have a physical, brick and mortar store where they actually house the parts you’re looking for.  Too many of these fly-by-night online shops have made a bad name for the respectable ones by not stocking the parts they show online, thus leaving the customer with a late delivery and a bitter taste in their mouth.

Institutions like Lucas Liftruck, serving the Niagara region for over 75 years, is maintained by material handling industry professionals with one of the most substantial lists of oversea and domestic forklift brand parts stocked and ready to be shipped or picked-up from our Thorold location. You can count on Lucas to have the lowest prices on the parts equipment you need - when you need it.

Whether you’re a local dealer or an end-user who requires the parts in a timely fashion to reduce or avoid downtime, Lucas Liftruck is your go-to source for the very best brand name forklift parts.

Forklift Operator Training for the Niagara Region and the Golden Horseshoe

In recent years the Ministry of Labour has implemented more stringent regulations and safety requirements relating to forklift training and operation. Many companies are recognizing the significance of safety programs and appropriate training for their forklift operators. 

The Lucas Liftruck Forklift Operator Safety Awareness training courses are facilitated by certified trainers with over 20 years of experience. They strive to make each course an interactive experience for both new and experienced operators, drawing from experience to encourage open discussion. 

Forklifts are heavy pieces of equipment with many particulars in operating them safely; they should be treated with respect by the operator, and all others coming in close proximity.  

If driven by an untrained operator or in an unsafe manner a lift truck can cause extensive damage to buildings, racking, cargo, or worst of all - can cause injury or death to operators or other workers.

Forklift safety applies to ALL lift trucks from manual pallet operators to electric pallet trucks, stacker trucks, order pickers, reach trucks, counter-balance trucks, electric forklifts and heavy-duty forklifts. If you operate a lifting device, you need to understand the safety aspects, for your own safety, the safety of others and your company's peace of mind.

Course Content Includes:
All Forklift Training Requirements under Current Legislation - OHSA/CSA Standard B335-04
Principles of Counter-Balanced Lift Truck Operation
